Claims.

My invention relates to stove constructions, and more particularly has reference to the construction of ovens for cooking stoves. While I have shown my invention as used in connection 5 with gas stoves, it is, of course, to be understood inspection, as the shelves are extremely heavy and are hard to move.

Moreover, there is often the further danger that the shelf would be pulled out too far, thus allowing the food to be spilled on the user or the floor. The above and other inconveniences of the prior constructions are in a large measure overcome by the present invention.

The present invention is somewhat similar to my co-pending applications Serial Numbers 83,799 and 111,945, respectively, and constitutes an improvement which materially adds to these constructions.

It is an object of my invention to provide an oven wherein the food on the shelves can be readily inspected at all times during the cooking operation.

A further object of my invention is to; provide a stove construction which will move out the shelf or support on which the food is resting so that it will project beyond the front of the oven and can be readily inspected.

Yet another object of my invention is to provide a stove construction which is easy to repair and replace and in which there are few essential working parts.

A still further object of my invention is to provide a construction which is simple, sturdy and inexpensive to manufacture.

With these and other objects in view, which may be incident to my improvements, the invention consists in the parts and combinations to be hereinafter set forth and claimed, with the understanding that the several necessary elements comprising my invention may be varied in con- '50 struction, proportions and arrangements, without departing from the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

In order to make my invention more clearly understood, I have shown in the accompanying 55 drawings means for carrying the same into practical effect without limiting the improvement in their useful applications to the particular constructions which, for the purpose of explanation have been made the subject of illustration.

Figure 1 is a view in perspective of a stove 5 showing my pull out oven construction in the closed position.

Figure 2 is a view in perspective of the stove in Figure 1 showing the oven construction in the pulled out position. 1

Figure 3 is a sectional view taken through the oven and pull out construction showing the position of the members in the pulled out position.

Figure 4 is a fragmental sectional view taken through theside wall of the stove.

Figure 5 is a view taken along line 5--5 of Figure 3.

Figure 6 is a perspective view of the sliding support member equipped with my novel form of shelf support frames.

Referring to the drawings and more particularly to Figures 1 and 5 there is shown a cooking stove I provided'with a roasting oven 2 having side oven walls. 3 and 4. The oven is provided with a top wall 5. The side walls 3 and 4 and the top 5 are insulated with some suitable insulating material as shown at 6. The lower portion of theside wall 3, designated 1, is not insulated as it abuts a compartment 8 in which food is placed to. be kept hot. As shown in Figure 4, the side wall 4 is removably secured to the stove I as depicted at 4. Obviously such an arrangement is particularly efficacious as it will enable the interior of the stove to be readily cleaned and repaired.

The oven is providedwith a metallic sheet bottom 9 which is provided with airholes (not shown). A heating element H is suitably positioned within the oven 2.

As shown in Figure 3, an aperture I2 is pro- 0 vided in the front wall in which is adapted to slide a sliding support depicted generally l3. The sliding support is provided with an insulated front wall H which is adapted to fit within the aperture I2 when the support I3 is moved to its 5 closed position. An insulated oven door I5 is hinged to the front wall.

Referring to Figure 2 it can be seen that an upstanding handle support I6 is attached to one side of the front wall of the sliding support I3. The upstanding support carries a suitable operating handle ll. When the handle I! is grasped by the hand of the operator, the sliding support l3 may be either slid into or out of the oven 2.

As shown in Figures 3 and 6 a tray I 8 is suitably aifixed at its forward end to the insulated front wall M of the sliding support [3.

In order that the sliding support l3 may be readily slid into the oven or pulled out, there is shown a support member I!) mounted on the bottom of the oven carrying at its sides trackmernbers 20. Rollers 2| which are carried by supports 22 mounted on the rear wall of the tray I8 are adapted to bear against tracks 20.- Rollers 23 are afiixed to the forward part of the upturned edges 24 of the support member I9. These rollers 23 are adapted to ride on tracks 25 which are attached to the bottom of the tray l8.

It will be readily appreciated that this'construction affords a cantilever support effect to the sliding support l3, the'tray sliding on rollers 23 and being held from tipping by the action of the rollers 2| as clearly depicted in Figure 3.

This construction allows great ease in pulling in and out the sliding support l3.

The tray i8 is strengthened by means of bracing members 26 which may be suitably secured to the side walls of the tray.

Secured to the rear of the sliding support l3 are attached a pair of brackets 21. Brackets 21 are secured to the tray I8 as shown at 28. Brackets 21 are of flat metal and have forwardly extending arms 29. The forwardly extending arms are provided with a curved arresting surface 30. These arresting surfaces contact the upper portion of the front of the oven in the pulled out position, as shown in Figure 3, thus preventing the sliding support I 3 from being pulled out too far.

A'roasting oven bottom 3| of sheet metal is provided with downturned flanges 32. The oven bottom 3| can be used to support food being cooked.

As shown in Figures 5 and 6, U-shaped brackets 33 are secured to the brackets 21 as shown at 34. Sheet metal side members 35 having flanged ends 36 are attached to the brackets 33 as shown at 31'. I prefer that the sheet metal members 35 be treated in some suitable manner which will facilitate the ease with which these members may be cleaned. r

As clearly shown in Figure 5, grooved tracks are affixed to the inner walls of the side members 35. Slidable shelves 39 preferably formed of the usual open bar construction are adapted to slide in the grooved tracks 38. The shelves 39 may be used in conjunction with the oven bottom. 3| for supporting the food being cooked. I

Referring now to Figure 3, it should be noted that the length of the side members 35 is approximately one-half the .depth of the oven 2-. This construction is quite important due to the fact that when the sliding support I3 is pulled out, the side members 35 do not project beyond the door of the oven. Obviously this arrangement will permit the food to be easily inspected. Moreover this construction will facilitate the ease with which the side walls 3 and 4 of-the oven may be cleaned.

While I have shown and described the .preferred embodiment of my invention, I wish it to be understood that I do not confine myself to the precise details of construction herein set forth by way of illustration, as it is apparent that many changes and variations may be made therein, by those skilled in the art, without de- ,erting from the spirit of the invention, or exceeding the scope of the appended claims.

I claim:
